1.
C
You say you want to go back,
Dm C
change what has been done,
F Em
But experience is fixed and as
Dm Bb
unyielding as the sun.
2.
C
You'd like to look ahead into
Dm C
tomorrow afternoon,
F Em
But potential times lay hidden like
Dm Bb
the dark side of the moon.
3.
C
You're running from the present.
Dm C
Moment still keeps flying by.
F Bb
Now's the only place to work in.
Eb C
Here's the only time to try.
4.
Am G
The present, past and future are
F C
but three links in a chain.
Am G
Our future's pleasures lie in hope
F Bb
of escaping living pain.
5.
C
Eventually we're born.
Dm C
We have to leave the womb behind.
F Em
Eventually we see ahead,
Dm Bb
the tomb is all we find.
6.
C
The past is pain we can't escape.
Dm C
It pushes us ahead.
F Bb
That's why we build for what we know
Eb C
comes after when we're dead.
7.
Am G
But now is all you have today
F G
you have to drink the cup,
Am G
And hope your past has prepared you
Bb C D3sus
for... what is coming up.

1.
B Bb
You... can...
Eb
Spend your time in meditation
Db
Spend your time inside
Eb
It can be a kind of education
Db
Or a place to hide
Eb
Spend your time in thinking, reading,
Db
Talking while alone
Eb
Until you're through with all you are
Db
and everything you've known
Eb
And when it's not enough
Db
then you will come out of your cave
Eb
The first thing you will
Db
hear is how you're
C B
going to have to shave
2.
Bb
You can
Eb
Spend your time in social service
Db
Trying to do good
Eb
Some will say you just unnerve us
Db
Others say you should
Eb
Spend your time in work and trouble
Db
Worry with your friends
Eb
Until you're through with each idea
Db
Fraying at the ends
Eb
And when it's not enough
Db
Then you'll retreat and contemplate
Eb
The first thing you will
Db
hear is how you
Eb Db Eb
almost were too late.
